Surprising Even Breathing

15 – Fear me regardless of status

I carefully looked at the man who was connected to the defense magic circle by magic.

formal attire.

There were splendid decorations on the chest and shoulders.

The strongest human I’ve ever seen.

An aura like a single sword.

I wouldn’t be an ordinary human.

A sword master who protects the imperial family.

Duke Heylon, the swordsman of the continent.

A figure was drawn in my mind.

The description in the book matched the human appearance.

‘Sword Master is blocking me.’

Knowing the other person’s identity made me very happy.

It was like a contest of strength.

He was trying to push me away using the defensive magic circle, and I was trying to enter the audience room while pushing the defensive magic circle.

To pass this place, I must defeat the Sword Master by force.

However, this match was not fair.

Because it was so advantageous to me from the beginning.

When I was in Drake or the royal palace, I spent the longest ten years lying down.

During that time, he controlled the dragon heart’s magical power.

If he couldn’t handle the enormous magical power latent in the dragon heart, his heart could explode at any time due to the outrageous magical power.

So I had to risk my life to learn magic control.

I remember going through the moment of despair more than 200 times.

It was arduous to control the dragon heart’s magic like that.

However, now that he has succeeded in controlling the dragon heart’s magical power.

I was able to control my magic better than anyone else.

To think that he was trying to push me away with only intangible magic.

The Sword Master’s challenge was ridiculous.

Pass s s s s s.

I touched the magical power of the defensive magic circle that was blocking me.

You can see where the magical power originates from.

I found the magic line connected to the Sword Master.

I grabbed the rope and pulled it.

“omg.”

The sword master, who had been on the podium with the emperor, was suddenly dragged down.

Tak, tadadak, tak.

I hurriedly put my feet on the floor to get my balance.

I was no longer interested in breaking through the defensive magic circle.

I was just playing around with the Sword Master connected by the magic of the defense magic circle.

can you stand it

Try pulling the string of magic.

I tested the opposite to see if he could withstand my strength.

“Ugh.”

He was dragged down from the stage by me with a magical rope, but he was no longer flustered and raised his strength to withstand my pulling force.

‘It’s fun.’

A human who competes with me with magic.

After coming to the imperial palace, an unexpectedly interesting thing happened.

I don’t know what his intention was, but he played a funny prank on me.

But I welcome all pranks on me.

He pulled out the mana stored in his body and snatched the sword master’s hand.

It was a technique using telekinesis.

He will now have to keep playing tug-of-war with me, whether he likes it or not.

“Ugh.”

The Sword Master was trying to push me away by giving strength to the defensive magic circle.

However, I did not push further, but rather pulled the mana slowly.

I don’t want to end this game, so I hope you can hold on.

Enemy, enemy, enemy.

I heard the sound of mana tearing between him and me.

The intangible mana became so powerful that the string became so taut that it could be seen with the naked eye and actually sounded.

A shockwave of colliding magical powers occurred and the space began to shiver, and I continued to pull the Sword Master.

Tak, close.

Like a person being pulled forward in a tug-of-war, he is pulled step by step.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t overcome my magic control.

I had the upper hand in both strength and skill.

“this… … !”

While looking at the sword master’s embarrassed face, he loosened the rope for a while.

At this rate, the match will be over soon.

I’m having fun, so I’m going to keep going without ending this fight right away.

As the pulling power weakened, the sword master, who had been brightened for a moment, tried applying strength to the string for a moment and realized that there was no difference from before.

I was pulling and releasing him like a fish caught on a fishing pole, then skillfully adjusting it.

Chaeeng.

He straightened his posture as if he couldn’t do it like this, and drew his sword.

And cut off the magical power that connects me.

Before I knew it, the distance from me was 5 m.

If I had been a little late, I would have been completely hooked.

“… … .”

A broken defense magic circle.

The Sword Master raised his sword.

The person who entered the audience room.

I asked Duke Heylon.

“Would you like to play with me next time?”

With an aura on his sword, he looked shocked at my question.

He probably didn’t intend to fight me for real.

However, this composition seemed to point a sword at me.

*

“Duke Heylon. Why are you not talking?”

I asked the hardened man again.

I will be happy if you attack me like this.

Since he seems capable, a fight with me will be established.

It was like the tug-of-war with magical powers earlier.

sereung.

He belatedly withdrew his aura and put his sword into the scabbard.

“Forgive me for the rudeness, Prince Drake.”

I tried to push the opponent I invited to the imperial palace with the defense magic circle and even drew my sword and aimed at it, so he had no face to face me.

First of all, I bowed my head and handed over an apology.

“Aren’t you afraid of me?”

I first brought up this question while watching Duke Heylon.

I had a strand of expectations for the opponent who could commit such rudeness to me.

Aren’t I afraid of becoming a sword master?

Can we have a normal conversation?

“Two, are you afraid? It’s not like that.”

“really?”

“no. Actually, I’m afraid.”

Lying in front of me is not acceptable.

Duke Haylon, who was about to lie about not being afraid, quickly corrected his words when I tilted my head and stared at him.

“Sorry. Still, what you just did to me was quite pleasant. I hope you prepare more fun games next time.”

I laughed heartily.

Then, following the expression of joy, the uncontrolled magic power spread out for an instant and wriggled around.

Duke Heylon looked at the ignorant magic power emanating from me and was stunned.

there is no answer.

I asked him to prepare another fun game, so I looked at him who forgot what to say.

If you annoy me too much, I might not really play with you, so I stopped talking at this point and moved on.

The emperor sat on his throne and waited.

Duke Haylon saw me passing him and tried to move, but he couldn’t move his feet easily.

His position is obscure.

He wasn’t on the podium with the emperor, and he wasn’t on the way to enter the audience room like I was.

He stood awkwardly in the center of the red carpet, then vaguely backed away as I approached.

I appreciate him for not fainting when he faces me, for not kneeling at me, for keeping his mind intact even after talking to me.

The great sword master of the empire.

I hope someday you will attack me again.

After finishing my business for Duke Heylon, I was at the bottom of the podium.

Standing in front looking up at the emperor.

A tall podium blocks us.

I wasn’t polite looking at him.

Instead, he said this.

“Come down.”

The emperor is in no position to look down on me.

Sitting on a high chair on the podium, he was avoiding my eyes.

If you’re afraid of me, you can’t look down on me carelessly.

*

“Come down, Emperor. Or I will go up.”

I wasn’t being rude to him.

You couldn’t sit in a position like that if you wanted to have a conversation with me.

There were a limited number of people who were weaker than me and could look down on me.

my father.

He is the dragon who raised me and the king of the kingdom to which I belong.

I am a person who deserves to be polite and deserves to look down on me.

But not the emperor.

The emperor is not the king of the drake or kingdom to which I belong, nor is he stronger than me.

With the capacity he has, he would want to kneel in front of me right now.

because i’m afraid

That’s how bondi other people treat me.

I gave him a chance to find psychological stability.

“hahahaha. my, come down What are you talking about?”

“You’d better come down to talk to me. You can’t look at me because you’re uncomfortable there.”

“… … .”

“Don’t try to establish authority in front of me. You are not my king, and it was you who invited me here to speak with you. I was the same age as my father, so I tried to have basic courtesy, but since I was joking around like a naughty boy, I will omit unnecessary courtesy.”

It wasn’t a position to look down on me, and it was the other side that ignored courtesy and formality first.

Duke Heylon may have hung a defensive magic circle on the door of the audience room with an arbitrary decision.

It was the emperor who skipped greetings and applied intangible magic to test my ability.

“… … .”

The emperor hesitantly rose from his throne and came down the podium.

It might seem like a humiliating moment, but it wasn’t.

The emperor and commoners were the same in front of me.

Regardless of status, they fear me.

It would be natural for him to kneel before me.

It was just that he didn’t come up to me and kneel down and bow his head.

He had the mental strength to withstand fear.

“Now, tell me why you invited me. Surely the prank you hung on the door of the throne room was not the purpose of calling me.”

I asked, looking at the emperor who had come down from the podium.

There was a crack in his neat and solemn expression.

As if I had never met a scary opponent like me, I awkwardly looked at my feet.
